Be Strong - Garment of Praise (A Cappella)

[Livingstones2020]

1) Convictions are silenced, Truth is obscured,
In a sense, trampled, the line has been blurred;
Conscience is crumbled as morals decay,
All we have left are a few shades of gray.
But there are still those who will not be dismayed,
A remnant of God-fearing men;
And we pledge to not be ashamed or afraid,
Stand up to show that we still can:

Chorus:
Be strong in the faith, Be strong in the fight,
Be strong on the line between wrong and what's right;
Be strong in the power, Be strong in the Lord,
Be more courageous than ever before;
Faithful, determined, standfast and true,
Willing to sacrifice everything to be strong.

2) Champions of honor, Heros of faith,
Warriors of valor, empowered by grace;
Cold to temptation, callous to pain,
And even through hard times, our vows will remain.
Men who went tested refused to deny
The Gospel we firmly believed;
Rather it means that we live or we die,
Be certain that we'll always be: (Chorus)

Spoken:

In a time where concessions were applauded, Compromises glorified,
It's time to be strong;
On principles that are proven, On standards that stand,
On values that have value, And on truths that are timeless.
It is time to stand up and stand out.
We do not need more superstars or celebrities,
We need men to be heroes of honor, examples of character,
Role models of integrity, and inspirations of Godliness.
It's time to be strong!
We have the power if we only receive it,
We have the call if we will answer,
We have the duty if we will obey.
So take courage friend,
There is nothing to fear, nothing to dread, and nothing to regret,
For God Almighty is on our side.
We are more than conquerors if only we choose to be strong!​
